Meth Addiction Program at Banyan Massachusetts

Methamphetamine, aka meth, is a stimulant that effects the central nervous system by increasing levels of dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline. This creates a similar high to other stimulants, one of euphoria, increased focus, energy, and feelings of attractiveness. Addiction can happen quickly, with users requiring higher doses for the same effects. Meth is often smoked, injected, or swallowed. Common names for this drug include speed, ice, and crank. Crystal meth is also a common form of this drug. If you are in need of meth addiction treatment, or if you are seeking treatment for a loved one, contact our team at Banyan Treatment Center Massachusetts.

The Effects of Meth Addiction

Meth is one of the most destructive drugs when considering its effects on the mind and body. Over time, meth destroys dopamine receptors within the brain, making it virtually impossible to feel pleasure without the help of the drug. It also dries out saliva glands in the mouth, resulting in marked tooth decay, often known as “meth mouth.” The drug also acts on the body, destroying tissues and damaging the body’s abilities to repair itself. This leads to acne, sores, and general wear on the skin, which can make addicted individuals look far older than their age. Methamphetamine addiction has been a worldwide problem, with addictions forming in the U.S., Japan, Thailand, China, and Australia.

Detoxing from Meth

Because meth is so manipulative to many systems within the body, detoxification can be challenging. However, safe meth detox is possible. Meth withdrawals include symptoms such as:

Depression

Anxiety

Insomnia

Exhaustion

Muscle pain

Jaw clenching

Fatigue

Psychosis

Typically, these symptoms of meth withdrawal dissipate within a week. Others, such as cravings, may take longer. The key is to find addiction treatment and intensive outpatient programs in Massachusetts that support recovery every step of the way. Our programs at Banyan Treatment Center Massachusetts are tailored to the needs of each patient, tackling the multifaceted factors of meth addiction with a success-focused approach.
